00:00The Washington Commanders off to a hell of a start with rookie quarterback Jane Daniels

00:08and of course the first year with Dan Quinn at the helm, 6-2 now, as they go to MetLife

00:13this week.

00:14So unexpected 6-2, what does that mean for Dan Quinn?

00:18Well, gotta tell us players, keep your head on the swivel here and keep grinding.

00:23Here's Quinn.

00:24With confidence comes, you put the work in and you're confident to go play, but you have

00:29to have poise and that's what you want, to make sure that all the moments happen because

00:35of the work that you put in, not just because they happen.

00:39And so I think that's what poise and confidence do, knowing that we're able to do things because

00:45of the work you put in and that generates confidence to go play well.

00:48Okay, here's another cue for you.

00:53They better win this game in East Rutherford because next week Pittsburgh's coming calling

00:59to the dump in Landover off of a bye and we all know what words of wisdom does off of

01:05byes, they win.

01:08And I'll tell you another thing, they're good and they are a problem for whoever they play

01:13because they run the ball down your throat, they throw it all over the field and they

01:17play great defense and they sack quarterbacks and they got a good back end.

01:22They really do.

01:23I mean, the Steelers are legit and I think they can go to Landover and beat that team

01:27and I think they can chase that kid around and throw him around like a ragdoll.

01:31Well, we'll see how big they are next week.

01:33I don't even care about this week.

01:35Let's see you next week.

01:37And then after that, I'm going to see them play the Ravens and they better be ready too

01:40because they're going to get a fist one of these where they sneeze.

01:44Well for this week, I will say this number is rather interesting.

01:49So look, Washington's favorite, they've been a lot better than the Giants.

01:53The hook is a little scary here for me.

01:54Three and a half for Washington at MetLife, 44 and a half is the total in this one.

02:01Of course, they played that close game in Washington earlier in the season.

02:05Jones historically plays pretty well against Washington.

02:10Any interest in the Giants with the hook here at home on Sunday?

02:13Yeah, I'm taking a high risk bet on the Giants here.

02:16I think they're going to beat them.

02:17I think that they look good against the Steelers.

02:21At times they had the ball twice in the last 10 minutes with a chance to tie and blew it.

02:27I thought their running game with Tracy looked good.

02:29I thought neighbors looked good.

02:31I thought Jones looked decent until he threw that pick late to seal it, right?

02:36That was the end of them.

02:38But they gave the Steelers all they could handle in that game in Pittsburgh, no less.

02:43This game's at Snoopy.

02:46I actually think for the first time, Dable had them looking solid.

02:52If they can build off of that, I think they can knock off the Commanders in an upset.

02:56There's going to be upsets every week and spread covers that you don't expect.

03:00I think this is one of them.
